Rear Adm. Fred Midgette, commander of the Coast Guard 9th District based in Cleveland, is presented a check from Anne Brengle, president of the Coast Guard Foundation, at the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland on Monday. Midgette accepted the $400,000 check that will be used to build a community center at Coast Guard Sector Sault Ste. Marie. A top priority for the Coast Guard Foundation, the Sault Ste. Marie Community Center will give Coast Guard members and their families in the area an all-inclusive indoor recreation facility that will serve as a safe place for families to enjoy themselves and build a community during the long, U.P. winters.
